11:00 am
alleges were able to be written by obtaining information unlawfully. and so we saw this morning the attorney for mgn, andrew green, asking prince harry if he actually read all 33 of those articles to which prince harry responded he couldn't remember. so then of course that opens the door for the attorney mr. green to ask, well, then how is it these articles impacted you so much if you don't even remember them. and prince harry went on to say that every single article written about him caused him distress. we heard from the attorney really honing in on prince harry and asking him what evidence do you have to suggest that these articles were written unlawful. and prince harry pushed back and said look, that is a question that you will have to ask the journalist who wrote them. and he also went on to say that, you know, he is a witness and it is not his job to really deconstruct those articles. it was certainly a difficult day for prince harry. he will be back again tomorrow. the judge tells us that he
11:01 am
suspected prince harry's cross-examination should end by midday. but then his attorney wants the attorney to question him. so we know that there is at least one full day left of testimony from prince harry before this trial moves forward. back to you. >> meagan fitzgerald, thank you. and a lot to cover in our second hour of chris jansing reports. let's get right to it. ♪♪ at this hour, new urgency on capitol hill today to, quote, compel answers from the gop activist and billionaire harlen crow. and the case tied to the tragic death of a mother shot by her neighbor after a years' long feud. and apple unveiling its vision of the future at the developers conference with a fresh round of skepticism over the question of just how much
11:02 am
people are willing to shell out for their newest product. also indictment speculation, heating up tied to former president trump after his lawyers met with special counsel jack smith and other department of justice officials. trump sharing this question on truth social -- how can the doj possibly charge me? our reporters are following all the latest developments. ken dilanian is covering the former president's legal drama as we learn that florida grand jury is preparing to hear testimony. ken, where do things stand right now? a lot of moving parts in this investigation. >> a lot of moving parts and series of data points that appear to point to the end of the investigation, point to a special counsel on the verge of a charging decision. first of all, you had the trio of trump lawyers coming to the justice department yesterday to meet with senior officials and also with jack smith himself. but not with the attorney general, to essentially try to argue that their client should
11:03 am
not be charged and that jack smith and his team have committed misconduct, as they have been arguing publicly. and then you have the new reporting that we have that there is some testimony being heard in this case before a federal grand jury in the southern district of florida. not exactly clear what that means, it could be a number of different things, it could mean that they intend to bring the case against donald trump if they bring it in florida because after all that is where the classified documents were taken. it could mean that they are charging another individual in the case in florida, it could even just mean that there is one particular witness that they need to get on the record down there who couldn't make it up to d.c. the grand jury that had been pribeen principally investigating the case is in washington. and trump tweets like this when he knows that prosecutors are bearing down on him. and so that is another data point suggesting that the end is near. >> ken dilanian, thank you. the family of a black mother in
11:04 am
florida shoot and killed by her white neighbor says aj owens' 9-year-old son was standing right next to his mom when the bullet hit and that the neighbor who pulled the trigger used racial slurs against him and his siblings. lindsey riser is following this for us. what do we know about what happened? >> reporter: this story is tragic. the shooting happened friday around 9:00 p.m. and what led up to it according to ben crump the attorney representing the family is that the kids were playing in a field and the 58-year-old white woman allegedly calls the kids racial slurs, says get off her property. the kids leave and they forget a tablet. so one goes back to the neighbor's house to retrieve the tablet. and at that point, she throws something, police say it was a pair of skates either at or toward the child. the child is struck and the child goes home to tell his mom, a.j. owens, goes to the neighbor's home to talk to her. police say there is a long
11:05 am
standing feud between the two, there had been some six to eight incidents in the past between the two of them in which police were called. and according to the shooter who told police a heated exchange ensued, that there was banging on the door, threats were made, and that shooter shot through her door, striking aj owens ultimately killing her. her 9-year-old son was next to her. at least two of her four kids may have seen what happened. the woman responsible has not yet been publicly identified, arrested or charged because of the stand your ground law in florida where police are asking the community not to jump to any conclusions. they say the law prohibits them from making an immediate arrest and they need to investigate and determine whether deadly force was justified. but meanwhile aj owens' friends, family, they are saying that she was a football mom, she was a cheerleader mom, she lived for her kids. and her mom was on with joy reid last night. >> she simply knocked on the
11:06 am
door. no weapons. just wanted answers, wanted to speak to another adult regarding the incident involving her 9-year-old son who was standing next to her. >> it is your understanding that this woman called the children racial slurs? >> the "n" word, slaves, other profanity. "b" words, you name it. this was not the first incident. >> and police say they are waiting to try to interview the children. of course they understandably traumatized. so police are asking the public to give them time for their investigation. chris. >> lindsey riser, thank you for that. a big update on the questions from congress about billionaire harlen's relationship with justice
11:07 am
thomas. i understand that he will speak with the senate judiciary staff members. do we know when or what specifically they want to know? >> timing is up in the air, but this is a big change from the posture that his lawyers were taking up until this point. the senate judiciary committee has been very interested in the relationship between crow and clarence thomas in particular because it was disclosed that thomas was accepting lavish gifts and vacationses from crow and much of that was not disclosed. the supreme court has not really under the jurisdiction of the congress. and that is where a lot of this rub is. harlan crow's lawyers believe that they are really under no obligation to offer up crow himself as part of this investigation or even to talk to the committee and they don't believe that they need to hand over any additional information about the gifts. but they have attempted to strike a compromise here where
11:08 am
they will have a discussion about the role congress plays in the limited oversight that they have as it relates to the supreme court and at least have an introductory conversation about the way that crow and his lawyers can be helpful to the committee. but this is just one part in what is really becoming a standoff between the judiciary committee and the supreme court. democrats on the judiciary committee firmly believe that the supreme court needs a much stricter code of ethics, one that is enforceable perhaps by an independent body. and that is something that the supreme court has just soundly rejected at this point believing that they can self-police themselves. but certainly an issue that is not going to go away and something that we expect judiciary committee senate democrats in particular to keep pressing the supreme court on including the chief justice himself john roberts. >> ryan nobles, thank you. apple has just released its version of a mixed reality headset with a major price tag. seema mody is joining us from
11:09 am
cnbc. i think that this is apple's biggest new product in a decade. how is it being received? >> you're right, it is an expensive headset starting at $3500, that incorporates all sorts of virtualapps, a 3d camera. tim cook took the stage yesterday saying the product is a defining moment for the company. >> so in the same way that mac introduced us to personal computing and iphone introduced us to mobile computing, apple vision pro will introduce us to spacial computing. this marks the beginning of a journey that will bring a new dimension to powerful personal technology. >> as to how it is being received, experts say it is too soon to distinguish whether this will get the love of not just tech enthusiasts but if it will attract a mainstream audience. price point definitely high. wall street was anticipaing it
11:10 am
to be much lower. and apple stock hit an all-time high and then started to move lower once the price was revealed. but even with the apple watch that came out in 2014, it was seen as really expensive and it no doubt has been a big win for the company. so we'll see if tim cook can replicate that success with that headset. >> seema mody, always good to see you. thank you. ready to run and to brawl. chris christie launching a long shot bid for the white house with an eye on taking out donald trump. we have that in 60 seconds.
11:11 am
tonight trump critic chris krissy preparing to dive into the 2024 gop presidential race. but he has a daunting task ahead including some and i knee him and i knee him poll numbers and questions about how his anti-trump message will be received.i knee him poll number
11:12 am
questions about how his anti-trump message will be received. to more, let's go to steve kornacki at the big board, mark mckinnon from the circus on showtime and so steve, let me start with how republicans have made it clear that they have guidelines for candidates if they want to get on the august 23rd debate stage. how far away is chris christie from making the cut? >> yeah, this is the really interesting question because christie is telegraphing this intent to go after trump in a way that maybe we haven't seen other republicans go after trump. but that is the question. will he get the chance to it on a debate stage. so here is the criteria the rncs has put out. they say that between -- this is between the start of july and 48 hours before that debate, at some point in that window of time, to get on the stage you have to poll at at least 1% in three national polls, or 1% in
11:13 am
two national polls and plus one of the early state polls. that would be new hampshire, iowa, nevada, south carolina. christie notably launching his campaign in new hampshire indications that he will pay particular attention to new hampshire, maybe he is hoping that he could qualify through at least one poll out of new hampshire. but he will have to hit that polling threshold. and he will also need a minimum of a 40,000 unique donors. that can be very small dollar donor, but you have to have 40,000 unique donors. and then there is this which might conflict with the signal chrisie is sending. you have to sign a pledge that you will support the nominee. christie will have to sign a pledge that says if donald trump is the nominee, for august i say about him, i'll support him anyway in the general election. and so that is what christie has to do to get on the stage. the other question of course is if trump will want to be on that stage, will trump choose to show up at a debate or will he skip
11:14 am
the debate and just in terms of what christie is up against here in terms of where he stands with republicans to get to those poll numbers, here is the most recent monmouth national poll, this came out last week, you see christie is not at 1% in this poll. he is not at 1%. so if this were one of the polls, it is not, but if it was, christie would have to be hitting 1% here to count towards that. and here is the big o obstacle christie is up against. he is by far the least popular republican among republicans. favorable/unfavorable, 21% favorable, 47% unfavorable. 1% is not a huge number, but when you have negatives like that, christie has got to get some republicans in the next two months here basically to say, yeah, i'll support him for president to get potentially a chance to get on stage with trump. there is a lot of it ifs in
11:15 am
there. >> and so the question is how can he turn it around. i looked at the announcement that george w. bush made when he decided to run for president. and he said things like he wants to make sure the american dream touches every willing heart. is that what you are expecting tonight from chris christie? >> that was the compassionate conservative message and christie comes from that school. and i think there is a thin lane there. but one thing i know for sure, popcorn sales will go way up when he announces. it may be -- you look at steve's numbers there and those unfavorables, that is a tough hill for him to climb, but he may just be on a kamikaze mission will he will just blow up the frontrunner and then just the pieces will scatter where they may and see where it picks up from there. but the thing about 2016 that people said all along, and what christie says, if you want to be the man, you got to beat the
11:16 am
man. and if people have been remarkably timid in the republican primaries, of taking on donald trump frontally. and they have done it around the back and sideways. but nobody has really punched him in the nose. and christie is willing to do that. despite the numbers, things change quickly in politics. if donald trump bleeds, that support could fade away rather rapidly. >> so if he is going to potentially blow up donald trump, that would make a lot of people happy, right? including the "wall street journal" editorial board who would love to see that happen. but the "washington post" assembled a group of right leaning columnists to analyze the state of the race. and marc says that it is hard maga about a quarter of the vote, they will only back trump, soft maga, about half of the vote he thinks who are deciding
11:17 am
between trump and other candidates, and then the not maga, another quarter who won't consider voting for trump ever. i wonder if you generally agree those numbers and how much of the soft maga vote is really devisable from trump. >> i think if it is soft, it is absolutely devisable. i think the numbers are pretty accurate. i think trump whatever happens is likely to hold on to a quarter of the vote. but that leaves 75% up in the air and up for grabs for somebody. and, you know, it could be christie, it could be any of the others. but you have to start by putting a dent in the guy in the front runner. and so christie clearly not afraid to do that. others will be standing by to maybe pick up the pieces and be beneficiaries. maybe christie won't be. but this is what the opponents failed do in 2016 and christie is intent on making sure they
11:18 am
don't make that same mistake. >> and you'll be back with me in a moment. still ahead, the rush to evacuate after a critical dam was destroyed in ukraine. thousands put in danger by rushing waters. and now all eyes are on a nuclear power plant nearby. and later new charges against the mother of a 6-year-old who shot his first graduate teacher. could it set a precedent when it comes to cases where a child has a gun. has a gun.

11:23 am
right now thousands of people are racing to safety in southern ukraine after a key dam and hydroelectric plant was destroyed overnight flooding communities. u.s. intelligence is leaning toward russia is being behind the attack which along with unleash being the potential humanitarian disaster could have major implications for the war. for more on what it all means, let's bring in lieutenant general twitty, an msnbc military analyst. always a pleasure to have you here. as you well know, dnipro river has become the de facto front line owing. and russian force are fortified on the east side, ukraine's military dug in on the west. how do you see this changing things if at all but especially when it comes to the oounkian ukrainian counter offensive? >> it will have a tremendous impact and here is why.
11:24 am
when the russians if the russians did this blew the dam up, it flooded the entire area, it flooded the fields, it flooded the roads, it flooded the bridges. it will be hard to bypass. so that whole area will be flooded. therefore things such as a are armored vehicles won't be able to conduct their attacks where they think that they need to conduct them and so forth. so this will prevent the ukrainians having the maneuver space that they desire to be able to conduct their attacks. now, what i also will tell you, that this will also impact the russians who are down on the south side of the river in their defense, many of them will have to move because they will be flooded as well. but the overall impact will go majority against the ukrainians. >> there is also a lot of concern right now about the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant as you know, it relies on the river
11:25 am
to cool down its reactors and the u.s. says that while it is not in immediate danger, there could be a serious concern going forward. is there something that should happen right now, an international response right now? >> i've always thought that there should be greater international response with all the nuclear plants throughout ukraine. i think this one is worst monitoring seriously. as you mentioned, there is not an immediate impact but who knows whether or not this dam will grain farther enough that it will impact up north. so i suggest that we really get a team in there now to try to figure out whether or not we'll have some long term impact here. >> general, stay with me, but i want to bring in sahil kapur with new reporting on capitol hill on the future of funding for ukraine. and ukraine has had broad bipartisan support in the senate, although that doesn't appear to be the case right now in the house. what are you learning?
11:26 am
>> reporter: that's right. this is an intra-party clash long in the making and finally coming to a head now. first thing to know is that the center of gravity among senate republicans is for more ukraine aid whereas the center of gravity among house republicans is less ukraine aid. and a lot of senate republicans were a angry at the mill area spending number that the house republicans negotiated in the debt limit agreement but they knew that they were jammed and they had to pass the bill. so what happened, a bunch of republican military hawks got in the room and defensed chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell to issue a joint statement saying that they could pass ukraine aid separately and not take it out of the military budget. that means that it would have to pass congress which means that it would have to go through speaker mccarthy. and he gave a flat no when asked about the idea of ukraine aid supplemental. let's hear more.
11:27 am
>> if your first process is supplemental, senators are not paying attention to how the system works. we'll go through the appropriation process and we'll go through the numbers. >> reporter: it is important to note one thing mccarthy is saying is that it has to go through the appropriations process which means that there will be no ukraine aid at the very least until september and that would have to come out of the $886 billion that they negotiated for the pentagon. remember, this is the same speaker mccarthy who poured cold water last year over the idea of ukraine aid. he has a faction of ultra conservatives who want to reduce government spending by as much as possible. last december when the big ukraine aid package more than 40 billion passed alongside a government funding bill, just nine voted for it and more than
11:28 am
half retired since. and so context will matter. and i spoke to tony gonzalez who is supportive of ukraine and he said republicans will watch to see how the counteroffensive goes. if there is a dire need this fall, that will affect the calculus. he said that there are a lot of ways to skin a cat. >> and so general, there is already talk, speculation, that the counteroffensive is already under way, depends on who you talk to, but what could be the impact if the u.s. support is seen as wavering even a little bit? >> well, chris, i think really this counter offensive would be telling. not just with ukrainian. it is important to meet success with the counteroffensive. when you take a look at the time line here, they basically have from june, the month we're in
11:29 am
now, to september. and then the weather will start to get bad. so we need to see progress from the ukrainians so that support will not wane on the u.s. side and many western capitals as well. >> lieutenant general and a sahil kapur, thank you both. and in normandy, they are honoring where those who are laid to rest. defense secretary praised the values they fought for and paying tribute to the ukrainian on the frontlines right now. american officials will attend a ceremony later with germany and nine principled allied nations. coming up, governors at war. why governor newsom seems to be hinting at kidnapping charges mentioning ron desantis.

we have to tell you about another big political battle involving ron desantis. but he is not fighting with another presidential today. it is california governor gavin newsom and he is aiming his fire at desantis. newsome is calling desantis, get ready for this, a small pathetic man after another flight of migrants arrived in sacramento.
11:35 am
an even hinting at filing kidnapping charges. all of that after the sheriff's office says it is filing criminal charges over the same program. julia ainsley is following all of this. and mark mckinnon is back with me. and also with me, charles pull man. julia, what is the latest on the investigation into the two flights that sent 36 mgrants i think it is to sacramento. >> reporter: and their kindergarten came on msnbc at 11:00 to explain why they think that state should be guilty of charges and they should open up an is inquiry to take legal action. here is what he had to say. >> state of florida needs to be held accountable for these actions. these actions are cruel, they
11:36 am
are inhumane, they are morally bankrupt. they are wrong. this is a political ability, a chief political act used to try to get cheap political points on the backs of human beings vulnerable, traumatized. >> what they were able to ascertain based on the roughly two dozen migrants that arrived on the california on this flight, that they actually came through texas, were flown through mexico on planes originated from florida. so they believe it is the similar tactic when ron desantis bussed migrants to martha's vineyard. so a way to insert himself into the immigration debate bait and they say that they were misled, that they were told that they had a better chance of asylum and finding jobs and that is why they would have gotten on the planes and then the buses.
11:37 am
so they think that the buses were deceived and are being used as pawns in a political fight. >> and so governors newsom and desantis have been on fire. newsom paid for a desantis attack ad on florida television. desantis criticized newsom at a speech in california. what is really going on here as you see it? >> well, this is a fight that actually at least politically where both sides win. this is a fight that desantis welcomes and this is a fight that newsom welcomes. he pleases his base and desantis pleases his base. these are clearly political stunts designed to make a political point, not to really move public policy. but the one thing i will say about it is that no matter where you are on the immigration debate, i think most people would say that it is a problem that should be shared by everybody equally. in other words, it shouldn't just be the burden of the wore ter states. and i read on your network not
11:38 am
longing go that the biden dhs has a plan on the shelf that would move migrants around the country to different cities, give them the resources to help them deal with it, and give them advanced notice. and for the life of me, i can't understand why that hasn't been deployed to eliminate the political heat and it would be a good solution. >> and charles, let me go back to the idea that the fight and charges. do you think that if these charges move forward on these relocation flights, that they have a leg to stand on legally? >> i think they do legally. i don't know how far this will go. we're talking about the intersection of politics and law here. what i mean by that, of course everything that mark and julia talked about around how we got here is all political. and everything that we talk about going forward is all about the legality of it and legality is really basically a question of not just what you did but also how you did it. and so the notion of moving
11:39 am
these people around with potential legislation on policy from the biden administration is one thing. but when are you doing it under false pretenses, and that is the real thing that we have to focus on, when you are telling people one thing or misinforming people and inducing them into behavior, ie getting on a bus or plane and they didn't know what was going to happen to them, now it is in the realm of illegality. i think that we're far cry from actually seeing it play out into a court situation or litigation or everyone a prosecution. and it is possible inasmuch as they may be able to make out the bare bones necessary to sustain an indictment and potentially move forward with charges, but i expect that this is going to result long term in a different manner of handling these sorts of things. >> let's see if that happens. but no doubt i think that you are right that both sides think that this is a winner for them. because otherwise after title 42 ended and the number of folks
11:40 am
coming across the border went down, you'd think that it would go away. and it hasn't politically. but what we haven't said here is that there are human beings who are being moved around, pushed around, brought to places that they don't know anything about, and does the term political pawn mean anything here? >> sure does. and it is a far cry from our statue of liberty ethos. and really pains me, chris, because this is an issue that george w. bush embraced compassionately in a very immigrant friendly way, really wanted to reform the system. and i remember in 1999 when he was campaigning for president, he pushed had issue despite the advice of a lot of others who said that he should stay away from it but he said i really believe in it. and there were a couple times where we almost got it through. 9/11 happen and other things that became problematic to get it passed.
11:41 am
but now i realize that it has been more than a third of my life that we've been debating this and got nothing done. >> why? we talk about it, no one who doesn't agree that we need comprehensive immigration reform and it never happens. >> well, just a politically charged issue. and by the way, not just one that is here in this country, it is around the world right now. and this is what donald trump struck a chord on. because he said that he made people fear immigrants. i mean, he brought up the specter of drug dealers and rapists coming across the border in his announcement speech. so he villainized immigrants. easy to make them a political weapon in the environment where people feel like they are losing their jobs or their quality of life or paychecks and easy to blame somebody else. >> mark, julia, charles, thanks to all of you.

new federal charges just filed against the mother of that 6-year-old who shot his teacher inside their elementary school classroom in newport news, virginia.
11:47 am
deja taylor is expected to plead guilty to both counts involving possession and purchase of a firearm. and charging documents allege that she lied about using marijuana. and help us understand. initially there were child neglect charges, reckless will i leaving a firearm. >> and these new charges are federal firearms charges that allege that basically the defendant in this case -- or the suspect either was in possession or was actively using marijuana and in possession of a firearm under federal regulations that is illegal. and that on her application to obtain a firearm, the application filed with the atf, she basically lied and said that she was not using marijuana. so what i suspect is at some point whether it is in connection with the neglect charge or something else, law enforcement officials found out some way or the other that she
11:48 am
was either in possession of marijuana or she was actively using marijuana and because of the fact that she was in possession of the gun, it was in her home, whether it was registered or not, you can't have those two things co-exist. >> and she also maintains she doesn't have any idea how her son obtained the weapon that he used to shoot the teacher. having said that, what kind of precedent could this set that there were charges brought and there will be a guilty plea? >> i think that we need to work backwards. if you are talking about the charges today, that is a very interesting space to be in because it threads an interesting legal loophole because normally status crimes are not something that you can use to move forward with an indictment being i'm an alcoholic, i'm addicted to a particular substance. but in this case the pairing of that with the firearm makes it a viable opportunity for a prosecution. so that is an important thing to remember moving forward in cases like these. if you are a parent who has a gun and these sorts of things

are something that you indulge in or you have a problem with, it could potentially have an impact in terms of legal liability. as far as the neglect piece of it, that also has a lot of precedent that people need to consider. we are moving into a space where prosecutors are becoming much more creative about legal theories and how they can hold people accountable even if they may not be the proverbial trigger person. >> the teacher has sued the newport news school board and they want the $40 million lawsuit dismissed, they say the complaint should be first a workman's compensation claim and then the second part that violence in schools is a, quote, unfortunate reality for teachers. so i guess the argument is that you just have to consider as a teacher that you might get shot. >> i'm not thinking that that will go very far. in this case you have to figure out some way to mountyou are no which i believe that this will be a settlement by the school
11:50 am
board. but that being said, when you are talking about the notion of an occupational hazard, it is such an interesting and unfortunate commentary that that would even be something that group of attorneys would consider a viable defense and have enough support given myriad of school shootings that we've seen in the united states to advance in terms of responding to this. that is much more a commentary on where we are as a society than it is a legal defense and i find both to be unfortunate. >> always good to have you here. live to the white house because the president is meeting with cabinet and taking questions from supporters. let's listen. >> -- just she'll well. this shows all of the infrastructure on this map. then talk about -- as well then you can go by your state and find what's happening. >> you can go down to every city, town, anywhere on the map and find out exactly how much

right now, at least 30,000 people have taken to the streets in paris protesting the plan to raise the retirement age. matt bradley is in paris for us. matt, what are you seeing so far? >> what we're seeing now is the remnants of this protest. there are still some people around and quite a few police officers. this really ended about two hours ago. really what we were seeing here chris, you said this was the 14th day of this particular set of demonstrations and this has been going on since january. this was for lack of a better word, chris, the most hopeless of all the protests. that's because the measure they had been opposing since january,

these hundreds of thousands of people across the country has already been passed into law. earlier this week, it was published in official government gazettes showing it is now part of the law, which means all french people who are 62 years old will have to work for another two years in order to qualify for the full government pension. a lot of folks here are hoping on thursday, there will be a new measure introduced in the assembly, france's parliament, that will reverse this law. i spoke with one of the protestors. here's what she told me. >> i mean, next day will be our very important fight in the assembly. and this is part of this fight in order to rehab or take it over right. this is very important and i want to stress that. >> reporter: even some of the

labor leaders who have helped to organize this huge protest, it was a big protest but less than half the size of some of the protests we've seen in the past couple of months. even they said this was a kwee sottic effort. we're seeing these labor organize, left wing politicians and political parties, they're hoping they can kind of hang on to the spirit and solidarity of this movement and use it to move forward to oppose some of the president's new initiatives to try to liberalize and reform and to bring france more into line with some other countries like their neighbors, germany, or the united states, to try to get rid of the social network or social safety net that really has defined french economics and the support it offers to its people for generations. they're hoping that they can continue the path and oppose a president that many here consider to be a very imperious president. one who has jammed through legislation that really doesn't have the support of the majority of french people. >> thank you so much.
